The Wizards (19-40) are now 2-6 without Beal this season but his absence has been felt lately on the road, where they have lost four consecutive games without the promising rookie shooting guard on the court.
Beal remains day-to-day, but Coach Randy Wittman said that he is making progress. Wittman, like others within the organization, was relieved that the injury didnít prove to be more serious after Beal needed to be carried off the floor by teammates Jan Vesely and Chris Singleton.
